LOCALS SUNMAd200jr THE OAKLAND TRIBUNE r- Community Calendar i 4. Landmarks Historic Pardee house will host ARISABWIBnMNMBW Today rir HE LANDMARK Pardee House built In 1868 on Eleventh Street between Castro -AA. and Martin Luther King Jr. Way la one of the oldest homes In Oakland. On Tuesday, the graceful Itallanate villa, set amid Its original 19th' century-era grounds, will host a Victorian -style Fourth of July jrimVv Guided tours of the home filled with original furnishings rare ear California palntlngi and objerts dating from the Gold Rush to mid-20th century will be offered.

Turn-of-the-century picnic fare and fflmes of the period, Including badminton and croquet, are planned and cost-umed volunteers will recite stirring patriotic odes to the day. Three generations of Pardee family members have lived In the home. Including George fc. Pardee, governor of California from 1903-07. Following fix death of his daughter Helen In 1981, a foundation was created to maintain the property and make It available for visitors.

Recently foundation trustees announced receipt of a $12,000 g-ant from the Stanley Smith Horticultural Trust to undertake phased restoration of the vide a fascinating glimpse into their everyday liws. In addition to serving term as governor, George was a practicing physician (like his lather) and mayor of Oakland from 1893-95. Twenty years earlier Enoch was elected mayor. Both father and son shared deep concern for public health, particularly with respect to safe drinking water: Both served on the public health commission and George proved Instrumental hr the establishment of the East Bay Municipal Utility District lnl924. At age 66 and continuing until his death 14 years later, George -served as EBMUD president Pardee Dam in the Sierra foothills is named for him.

An aqueduct stretching more than 80 miles across the Central Valley transports snow melt from tire Mokelumne River watershed to Est Bay residents. Given the long association of George Pardee with EBMUD, it seemed appropriate for museum trustees to approach the district for funds to complete the irrigation portion of the garden restoration. In their letter to the board, trustees noted that thousands of commuters pass the Pardee House every day, exiting Interstate 980 at 1 1th Street. A portion of the garden Is planned as a demonstration area Originally, George's father, Enoch, purchased die half-Mock lot In 1868 In what was then Ok outskirts of town. Like hundreds of other San Franciscans, he was searching for level lota and a sunny dimate on the other side of the Bay.

The Pardees would see Oakland grow from a fledging village at the foot of Broadway to a major metropolis within a few short years. The landscape architectural firm of PattiHo and Garrett Associates, working with museum staff, studied archlval photos and examined written records to develop an approximate version of the grounds as they must have looked 100 ag) when George, wife Helen and their four daughters lived there. Helpful to the research was the discovery of nursery purchase orders for plants from 1872. Museum Director David Nicolai said the Pardees rarely threw out anything, and correspondence, bills, invoices and family Journals pro Pardee House Museum official are planning to use a grant from EBMUD to show how drought-tolerant Irrigation systems can enhance a landscape plan.
